Mickey your question reiterates my point which is he does not make anyone make any deal. That is the point. If you go to see Rumple you are going to make the deal you intended to make. How many poeple have gone to him and tell them their problems or rather he tell them what their problems are and have said no deal and left with no deal. None. Every single person who dealt with him has made a deal and none have walked away saying to themselves he is full of it I will handle the problem myself. Once again no one has. I cannot name anybody FTL or Storybrook who has turned him down for a deal after approaching him. However, Emma has turned him down when he went to her only to return to Mr. Gold.
